108th New Thing - Made Spinach & Artichoke Dip

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. We were invited to our friends house for a Super Bowl Party and wanted to bring an appetizer. I decided to make a Warm Spinach & Artichoke Dip that was sent to me in an email earlier in the week as a healthier snack. The dip is made with spinach, artichokes, lima beans, light mayonnaise, olive oil, fat free cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, hot sauce, capers, green onions, mustard, and pepper. It is baked in the oven for 30 minutes at 350F. There are 59 calories/serving, 4g fat, 3g protein, 4g carbohydrates 1g fiber per serving, 5mg cholesterol, 183mg sodium, and 53mg calcium. We served it with tortilla chips, carrots, celery, and broccoli. It came out warm, creamy and really tasty, just like in a restaurant.

Super Bowl XLVI is NY Giants vs NE Patriots played in Indianapolis IN. I routed for the Giants since I'm from NJ. Giants won, 21-17, oh yeh!

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.

132nd New Thing - Played with Talking Tom Cat

I was searching through apps on my Droid Razr and came about Outfit7's Talking Tom Cat . This app is described as a cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say in a funny voice. I wanted to see what it was all about so I downloaded the app to my Razr to check it out. You can Talk to Tom and he will repeat everything you say with a funny voice, pet his body or head to make him purr, poke his head, belly or feet, grab his tail, pour a glass of milk for him to drink, and forget about him and he will yawn or sneeze. I find Tom only slightly enjoyable. What did you do today?
